Dear Diary,

My name's, like, Buffy! I think they call me that because I'm totally buff and hot and stuff but anyway...

BG1Part1_01.jpg

I live in Candlekeep! It's a nice place although there's one place to shop - Winthrop's. Everyone there is really stuffy and there aren't many hot guys, except for some of the barracks guards - wow-wee! That's probably why I decided to be a fighter instead of one of those grody wizards - I get a ton of exercise and look hot all the time from all the training!

BG1Part1_02.jpg

I never knew my parents, but that's okay, because Gorion's my foster father! He's totally awesome, except when he's not. I mean, he's like cool and all, but lately he's been ignoring me. And how could you ignore me, Buffy? There's gotta be something wrong but he never wants to talk :(

Anyway, I totally had a big day today, so I'm going to write all my adventures (if you can call them that, my life is TOTALLY boring) in here!

BG1Part1_03.jpg

So, like, the first thing I did today was go to Gorion's. I finally got paid for all the work I'd been doing (normal stuff, like killing rats and stuff) so I thought I'd go on a shopping spree! Like I said, Gorion's isn't too great, but it's really the only shop in town (unless you want to go to that creepy Oghman temple... But those guys are total dorks!)

BG1Part1_04.jpg

Anyway, I look totally hot, if I do say so myself! And I do - tee hee!

BG1Part1_05.jpg

I talked to old Firebeard, who asked me to get a scroll from Tethoril. That guy is totally cute, so I totally didn't mind doing it.

BG1Part1_06.jpg

What, did he fall down again? Haha, I'm so funny, I should be, like, a comedian! I don't think Tethoril noticed me making 'the eye' at him.

BG1Part1_07.jpg

Firebeard is such a sweetie!

BG1Part1_08.jpg

He totally protected me from evil. How many guys would do that?

BG1Part1_09.jpg

Phyldia is such an airhead, god!

BG1Part1_10.jpg

I decided to stop by the priests' quarters to see if any cuties were in.

BG1Part1_11.jpg

Instead, there was just this nasty dude! Totally uncool!

BG1Part1_12.jpg

He wanted to kill me, too! That's really mean, what did I ever do to him? :(

BG1Part1_13.jpg

But, like, he was no match for me, or something.

BG1Part1_14.jpg

Nobody seemed to notice me killing the guy, so I just talked to Dreppin instead.

BG1Part1_15.jpg

What was Phyldia doing in the hay, anyway? Maybe she was rolling in it with Dreppin? Eeew, that's totally grody! Grody to the max!

BG1Part1_16.jpg

Phyldia gave me some bling for finding her book. I tried to read it, but then I remembered I don't have to know how to read. That's what Gorion told me, anyway.

BG1Part1_18.jpg

I visited the bunkhouse (to find some cute boys, of course).

BG1Part1_17.jpg

Instead, another gross dude came up to me! Am I, like, a gross dude magnet or something?

BG1Part1_19.jpg

I was like "NO MEANS NO!"

BG1Part1_20.jpg

And then he tried to, like, force himself on me! Gross! Luckily my self-defense classes have paid off.

BG1Part1_21.jpg

Karan - that creepy priest -said he heard me scream, but I didn't make a sound! I think the weirdo was just listening to what was happening inside!

BG1Part1_22.jpg

He tried to sound all concerned and stuff, but he stared at my boobs the whole time as he said it - not that I blame him, splint mail makes my boobs look awesome!

BG1Part1_23.jpg

I listened to that awesome Voice band today. I asked for the lyrics to their latest song. They go something like

East - In the year of the Turrets, a great host will come from the east like a plague of locusts. So sayeth the wise Alaundo.
North - When conflict sweeps across the Dales the great lizards of the north shall descend with fire and fury. So sayeth the great Alaundo.
South - When shadows descend upon the lands, our divine lords will walk alongside us as equals. So sayeth the great Alaundo.
West - The Wyrm shall wander the earth and such a pestilence will follow in his wake that all who know of his passing shall be struck down by the plague. So sayeth the wise Alaundo.
Chanter - The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his doom he shall spawn a score of mortal progeny. Chaos will be sown from their passage. So sayeth the wise Alaundo.


Oh man, totally creepy! I get chills down my spine listening to it - in a good way, though!

BG1Part1_24.jpg

When I was going to Gorion, I saw Imoen! She's so cool, we're totally like sisters and stuff!

BG1Part1_25.jpg

Oh man, letter? Freak ooout! I totally can't wait to go on this trip - as long as Gorion gives me some money to spend, of course!

Well, that's all for today, diary! I'm sure I'll get some totally hot clothes from wherever we're going - but I'll write about that when it happens!

xoxo,

Buffy

    I tried to do this exact thing several months ago, and gave up after the first update because no one read it and I was only doing it to get attention. To make up for that I will read your attempt.

    Until I forget about it.

    No, I'll just be doing the single-player (with all single-player characters), unfortunately. I even have a mod installed for BG2-like party banter in BG1!

    Maybe if I do Icewind Dale, though.

    Mmmm Baldurs's Gate, delicious. Though BG2 was more my cup of tea. Good lord I feel the urge to play it again, but I know it won't go anywhere and it'll just be a disappointment for all involved.

    I could never get into BG2 (it's the only one I tried)

    I feel so bad and now I lost the CDs (okay, I actually lent it to a friend and he was wayyy more into it than I was so I traded it for his Oblivion which he hated)

    Also, this looks like it's going to be pretty great, Mori.

    For once I'm glad I've lost my copy of Deus Ex.

    I'm working on the second update already!

    For this game I'm probably going to be skipping a lot of the non-essential dialogue. Not that they're not awesome, but I'm going to be typing up most of the dialogue anyway, and damn that's a lot of shit to type to begin with.

    I'm sorry guys. but it's true. A selection of games fall under the Deux Ex purview. Baldur's Gate is definitely one of them, especially when someone does a damn decent OP let's play of the game. It is pure nostalgia in a can.

    As ready as we can be, although we still need to email the minister about stuff we're doing for the wedding. We'll do that soon, though. Other than that, though, everything's pretty good.
